Chris White was approached by staff after taking a photograph of four-year-old Hazel eating an ice cream in the Braehead shopping centre near Glasgow on Friday afternoon.

Mr White was questioned by a security guard, who told him it was illegal to take pictures in the centre. He was then asked to delete any photos he had taken from his mobile phone.

The police were called and Mr White was told there were "clear signs" saying no photographs were allowed.

He said one officer claimed that he was within his rights to confiscate the mobile phone containing the pictures under the Prevention of Terrorism Act.


The worst part of the story?
Friggin' WHOLE WORLD knows what your kid looks like.


On a side note:
Kid's in the EU will be banned from blowing up balloons
Children are to be banned from taking part in traditional Christmas games, from blowing up balloons to blowing on party whistles, because of new EU safety rules that have just entered into force.

Yeah a terrorist attack is no big deal. We should not have cried over spilled milk.

I still think the best thing would to have acknowledged the victims and continues on like business as usual. And.........then killed everyone involved in the planning of it.
